If you're willing to let your lands die to Bolt, you can cast this raw and get a 1/1, or play your land drop for the turn and then cast this and get a 2/2, or crack at least one fetch and maybe play your land drop for the turn and then cast this and get a 3/3 or maybe even a 4/4.
easily a 2/2 for 2 that also happens to be a mana dork.
as it's still a land, it will evade a ton of removal.
in older formats, a 3/3 from a fetchland... or even bigger depending on what's there.
could be spectacular in landfall decks to make a tarmogoyf-ish threat while triggering landfall from other dudes.
This is way more dangerous than it looks, since it fetches a basic land, losing the creature to a Shock or something won't be as painful (though still a 2-for-1), and the early 2/2 can be a serious problem for some control decks that can't interact with lands. Also, yeah,T1Akoum Hellhound or T2 Brushfire Elemental plus land+this the following turn is quite an explosive start, 2 landfall triggers and a bonus 2/2 dork is not a bad idea.

How is it a 2 for 1? You play this from your hand, and it gives you a card from your library. They Shock it, you only lost 1 card.
With a fetchland its a 2 mana 3/3 , so in decks that have plenty of fetchlands, this could even make a 5/5 at some reasonable rate.
Thats fairly good, especially if you can re-use this effect, even with a Snapcaster Mage, or stuff like Growth Spiral , Explore ... could be an actual good card for a Primetime style deck, if this gets potentially really big.
Might be a card worth considering, not just utter trash.
Have you ever wanted to see Kenji sing about turning your land into a mana dork? Well, you've come to the right place.
C'mon let's have fractuaaallsss
Let's make a fractual.
